A talented seven-year-old dancer has wowed actress Kristen Bell, 37, after she showed off her moves on Thursday’s episode of The Ellen DeGeneres Show.
Pop and lock dancer Ziqi Li also known as Lil’ Mushroom was a guest on the show where she impressed the guest host with both her art skills and some amazing dance moves.
And about halfway through the four-and-a-half minute segment, Kristen asked Lil’ Mushroom of Beijing, China, if she would dance for her and the studio audience.

After she completed her stellar performance, Lil’ Mushroom ran to give the Frozen actress, who was thrilled to see her moves a hug.
‘You are so fantastic,’ Kristen told the young girl. ‘And I got you some gifts because I really want you to like me more than Ellen.’
Lil’ Mushroom was then gifted with her very own Panda Express because she mentioned earlier that was on her list of restaurants to try in America and her own personal surfboard so she could ride the waves in style.

Passionate: Before she busted a move, Kristen talked through a translator with the young dancer about her love of dance and her other interests
But before she busted a move, Kristen talked through a translator, Grace, with the young dancer about her love of dance and her other interests such as drawing.
She asked : ‘So your dance name is Lil’ Mushroom and I know that beyond dance, you like to draw right?’
Kristen then held up Lil’ Mushroom’s self portrait, which just so happened to be a drawing of a mushroom.
Lil Mushroom then explained why she drew herself as a mushroom via translator who said: ‘My nickname is Lil’ Mushroom and I’m not that good with human faces so I just draw myself as a mushroom because I am a mushroom.’
Lil’ Mushroom also drew a picture if Kristen, which depicted the actress as an animal because she was born in the year of the monkey.

Trying new things: Lil’ Mushroom said that she wants to learn how to surf because ‘it gives me a thrill’
Kristen then asked Lil’ Mushroom about some of the activities she wanted to do while she was visiting.
Lil’ Mushroom said: ‘I want to learn how to surf because it gives me a thrill and I also want to get close to the fish but not the big fish because they would eat me up.’
She added: ‘I also want to go to Panda Express because I heard the food there is very fast and once you order it, it just comes up.’
This wasn’t Lil’ Mushroom’s first time on the Ellen Show because she has made special appearances February and October of last year where she got to show the host herself some of her dance moves.
Kristen, who filled in for Ellen while she took a vacation day also got the chance to chat with Jamie Foxx about his Fox network game show, Beat Shazam, and of course her Frozen character, Elsa and the upcoming Frozen 2 slated to come out next year.
